Thanks to Tad Boyle, we no longer have to beg for March Madness around here.

Unfortunately, most of these meaningless bowl games are as exciting as a lump of coal. College football has the greatest regular season, and an ending even the replacement officials from the Green Bay-Seattle game agree is a bad call.

Hopefully the jolly old fat men in charge of the BCS and major conferences will eventually stop realigning and deliver the postseason gift good college football fans deserve.

In that spirit, here are some other holiday wishes for the world of sports:

For the most loyal members of the C-Unit -- A free trip to Las Vegas for the Pac-12 Tournament and to another NCAA Tournament site to cheer on the Buffs.

For Boulder cycling phenom Taylor Phinney -- No more fourth-place finishes, especially at the Olympics, and many podium kisses.

For Denver Nuggets coach George Karl -- A superstar who can shoot like Alex English.

For CU athletic director Mike Bohn -- A resurgence at Folsom Field like the one happening at the Coors Events Center. And enough booster support to break out that gold shovel for a groundbreaking ceremony.

For Big East commissioner Mike Aresco -- An updated map of the United States or a name change for his conference. My suggestion: Conference USA 2.0.
